This is a form of therapy that originated in Japan, and has become quite popular in treating illness. It is also know simply as Japanese massage. It is a form of treatment that uses the hands, thumbs, and fingers to apply pressure on certain areas, and correct energy imbalances that are occurring throughout the body. The aim is to harness the body’s natural healing power to help it work more effectively.

When you go into the Shiatsu session you will be expected to lay on the floor. The practitioner will then start to work through your body, identifying points of interest, where the energy may be blocked according to your symptoms, and will then work slowly to put everything back in balance.

It is not uncommon for the recipient to experience an emotional release at the end of the session, such as crying or laughing, as it is reconnecting the physical and spiritual energies. If you are suffering pain or discomfort, try out this alternative therapy, you may surprised by the results.
